Hello peeps help me choose color scheme for a frog with ash body and transparent color.

- Brandy Breath with white ebony fretboard
- Black with white ebony fretboard
- Brandy Breath with rosewood fretboard

All with black acrylic dots. Not sure yet if to go chrome or black hardware.View attachment 4943725 View attachment 4943726 View attachment 4943727

A padouk fretboard would look nice on a black bass:

Here it is. I can get logged on now but I'm having trouble saving the order.

I originally made it up on the browser on my Xbox but it can't download the image. So I went onto my phone to get this and did but when I went to save the order, it said that

When I finish a configuration, instead of pushing finish, I hit save and then make a PDF copy of it. (print to PDF)
you can then press change and make different variations. Sometimes "Download Visualization" can be glitchy. I'll save one and then when I save another, it doesn't change. I'll end up with 2 or 3 versions of the same picture. I hope this info helps. Goodluck

I’m not even sure if want to do black honestly. I’m just trying to save money on the body so i can put it towards the electronics. I did see the hellwood on black and looks good, but not sure of the red fretboard. I’m all set with the electronics and now need to decided the finishes.

Brandy Breath with rosewood would be my choice. As far as the hardware is concerned, one possibility that I think could be attractive would be a black bridge, either black or chrome control knobs, and then chrome tuning pegs. That keeps the motif on the body with the black pickup covers and gives a nice contrast at the headstock. I think Brandy Breath looks awesome on the Frog body. Gonna be cool whatever you decide :thumbsup:.

The pickups are killer, what preamp does it have in it?

None! It’s passive, vol/vol/tone. I’d prefer a blend or a 3 way but I’ll rock this for a bit and see if I change my mind. The P volume pot is a little wonky so I’ll be changing that out soon. I’m definitely liking the Delano’s, especially the MM.

I've had a Audio/Video Recording last Weekend, with some friends, i've never made music with. It was a such a wonderful saturday. We've done "Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls. Of course i've brought my Mensinger Joker B5, regardless that there are other nice Basses in this Room. :D:)

I should not point on someone with a loaded weapon :cool:

Starting to focus in on what I want for another Maruszczyk. Question for you good folk. I see some neck through Paddocks with the neck wood showing on the body, but I don't see that when I try that option in the configurator. Is that an option you'd just note in the comments at the end of the configurator?

Maruszczyk Paddock 5a 5 String Neck Through Body

Ask Adrian or a dealer, it’s a special option to do neck through… only set neck is in the configurator. I asked for Wenge and Purpleheart and was told no. I know there are plenty of them in the wild, but not sure what woods he will allow now for such a request.

OH maybe they changed something, neck through is an option on Frogs and Paddocks now.

Adrian has expressed to me his dislike of working with Wenge
